GLYCEI... 450 HERBICIDE PAGE 11 OF 16Page 12
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
This product may be used prior to sowing any crop (edible or non-edible).
Weeds should be actively growing at time of treatment. Rainfall occurring up to 6 hours
after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2 hours after application
may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Always add
a non-ionic surfactant. See Surfactant Addition.
Independent of spray volume, adding extra surfactant may improve brownout on some
broadleaf weeds under less than ideal conditions.
Avoid contact with foliage, green stems or fruit of crops, desirable plants and trees, since
severe injury or destruction may result. This product is absorbed by plant foliage and green
stems. It moves through the plant from the point of contact to and into the root system.
Visible effects on annual weeds take 3-7 days, but on perennial weeds may not be obvious
for 2-3 weeks or even longer and may be delayed by cool or cloudy weather at and following
treatment. Visible effects are a gradual yellowing and wilting of the plant which advances to
complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts.
This product is inactivated immediately in the soil and does not provide residual weed
control.
RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
GLYCEL 450 Herbicide is a member of the Glycines group of herbicides. GLYCEL 450
Herbicide is a herbicide with the inhibitors of EPSP synthase mode of action. For weed
resistance management, GLYCEL 450 Herbicide is a group M herbicide. Some naturally
occurring weed biotypes resistant to GLYCEL 450 Herbicide and other inhibitors of EPSP
synthase herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population.
The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides
are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by GLYCEL 450 Herbicide
or any other inhibitors of EPSP synthase herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds
is difficult to detect prior to use, Excel Crop Care (Australia) Pty Ltd accepts no liability for
any losses that may result from the failure of GLYCEL 450 Herbicide to control resistant
weeds.
Crop Establishment: This product is recommended for control of emerged weeds prior to
crop establishment. Suitable cultivation and/or sowing operations are required to provide
seedbed conditions satisfactory for crop germination and development. Spraying early to
control young weeds will favour preparation of suitable seedbeds. On friable soils and
where there is only light cover of young weeds, sowing may proceed satisfactorily from one
day after spraying. In situations of heavy weed growth, sowing should be delayed until weed
decay and soil conditions allow formation of a satisfactory seedbed. Incorporation of green
or decaying vegetation and roots into the seedbed by cultivation or sowing may cause
retarded crop emergence, particularly in cold and/or wet conditions. Vegetation may be
reduced by grazing and weed decay may be assisted by cultivation to leave trash on the
surface. In marginal seedbed conditions, take care to achieve correct seeding depth, and
avoid use of pre-emergence herbicides where label directions advise risk of retarded crop
emergence.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: This product mixes readily with water.
For mixing instructions for tank mixes, see Tank Mixes.
NOTE: Reduced results may occur if water containing soil is used, eg. water from ponds and
unlined ditches; or if hard water containing calcium salts is used.
Ensure the spray tank is free of any residue of previous spray materials. Fill the spray tank
with one half the required amount of clean water and add the proper amount of this
product. Mix well before adding the remaining portion of water. Placing the filling hose
below the surface of the spray solution will prevent excessive siphoning into water source.
Do not use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming.
Spray solutions of this product should be mixed, stored and applied only in stainless steel,
aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic or plastic-lined containers. Do not mix, store, or
apply this product or spray solutions of this product in galvanised steel or unlined steel
(except stainless steel) containers or spray tanks. This product, or spray solutions of this
product, react with such containers and tanks to produce hydrogen gas which may form a
highly combustible gas mixture that can flash or explode if ignited by open flame, spark,
welder's torch, lighted cigarette or other ignition source. Do not mix with other surfactants,
agricultural chemicals, herbicide oils, or any other material except as directed on the label.
Surfactant Addition: Always add a non-ionic surfactant. The following surfactant products
may be used (other products have not been tested):

label directions, restraints, plant back periods, withholding periods and safety directions for
the tank mix products.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TANK MIXTURES
1. Fill the spray tank 1/3 to 1/2 full with clean water and start agitation.
2. Where ammonium sulphate is recommended, add liquid Spraymate Liase according to
the Directions for Use on its label.
3.Add the recommended herbicide/insecticide/additive to the spray tank. Mix
thoroughly.
4.Add this product and the remaining water. Mix thoroughly.
5.Add surfactant, if required, near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming.
6.Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly.Page 14

APPLICATION INFORMATION: This product is a non-selective translocated herbicide. Direct spray
contact, or even slight drift, may cause severe injury or destruction of any growing crop or other
desirable plants including trees. Clean all equipment after use by thoroughly washing with water.
Boom Equipment: Application of this product in low spray volumes (25-100L/ha) is recommended.
Fan nozzle equipment is recommended, using pressures in the range of 240-280kPa. Boom height
must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy.
Aerial Equipment: Aerial equipment may be used to apply this product only in pasture or fallow
situation prior to establishment of field crops, fodder crops, or new pasture, and for pre-harvest
application to sorghum crops. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Use
recommended rates of this product specified in this label up to a maximum limit of 3.2L/ha.
Depending on product rate and spray volume, added surfactant may be required. See Surfactant
Addition. For Microair and boom equipment, apply in a minimum spray volume of at least 15L/ha.
Droplets with an average size (or VMD) of 250-350 micron diameter are recommended. Swath width
should be 15-17m.
AVOID SPRAY DRIFT.
Application on hilly terrain: As spraying height may vary, to maximise target contact increase water
volume to 30-80 L/ha and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD.
Application under summer conditions: High temperature and/or low relative humidity cause
excessive evaporation of spray droplets which may reduce results. When temperature reaches 25°C,
increase water volume to at least 30L/ha, and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD. DO
NOT apply this product by aircraft when temperature is above 35°C.
Equipment maintenance and Usage: Spray solutions of this product should be mixed, stored and
applied only in stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass or plastic or plastic-lined
containers. This product or spray solutions of this product, react with galvanised steel or unlined
steel (except stainless steel) containers and tanks to product hydrogen gas which may form a highly
combustible gas mixture. This gas mixture can flash or explode if ignited by open flame, spark,
welder's torch or other ignition source. Spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly
rinsed with clean water following application to prevent extensive corrosion. Thoroughly wash
aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK: A Withholding Period for grazing stock is not required. However, it is
recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed for one day after treatment of annual
weeds, or 7 days if perennial weeds are present, to ensure absorption of this product. Certain plants
(eg. Soursob, Variegated thistle) may be naturally toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are
present, do not allow stock to graze until complete browning of treated plants has occurred.
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS: Avoid contact with foliage,
green stems or fruit of crops, desirable plants and trees, since severe injury or destruction may
result.
Drift warning: DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which
could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or
pastures.Page 16
